About Our Scouts
Why the eye test still matters.
Stats are important—but they don’t tell the whole story.
Next 1 Hockey’s scouting group is made up of active JR and NCAA scouts across North America. We focus on the details that sway games—pace, compete, reads, habits, retrievals, body position, and off‑puck play—so players are seen for more than their box score.
Because our staff is currently working in hockey, we keep individual evaluators private. That protects relationships, avoids conflicts, and lets us publish honest, professional reports players and teams can trust.
Pair our reports with your analytics or the Stats Dashboard for a complete, balanced evaluation.
